F. X. Richter: Symphonies

Franz Xaver Richter (1709-1789) Sinfonie in F minor; Sinfonia in D minor; Sinfonie in D 'Trumpet Symphony'; Sinfonia in G mkinor; Sinfonia in D major

Franz Xaver Richter was the earliest of the composer-performers who made up what came to be known as the 'Mannheim School'. This programme provides an impressive example of his compositional spectrum. Included in the programme are premiere recordings of Symphony in D major, No.53, which has the feel of a concerto movement; Symphony in D minor, No.56, an earlier work with a feature of unison writing for the strings and chromatic inflexions; and Symphony in G minor, No.29 which demonstrates the influence of Fux and the grinding discord - worthy of Richter's younger contemporary, the great composer of symphonies, Joseph Haydn. This beautiful music from this Mannheim composer is sure to become a classic amongst the Contemporaries of Mozart series.
